Print server offline windows 10.
They worked perfectly fine though.
Here are a couple of things to look for.
Unfortunately this doesn t happen all the time.
Printer goes offline due to a windows setting it is entirely possible that a windows 10 setting is interrupting the printer and stopping it working correctly.
If you have tried to print a document in windows 10 you know that it won t print unless the printer is online.
Under printer make sure use printer offline is not selected.
Then select your printer open queue.
Usually this just involves turning on your printer and waiting a few seconds for the status to change from offline to online.
Navigate to control panel and devices and printers.

If these steps don t put your printer back online then read troubleshooting offline printer problems.
Alternatively you can fix printer offline issue by installing windows 10 update.
1 on your keyboard press the windows logo key and r at the same time.
In this situation windows registers a polling loop to check the status of the print server.
Quick one here which i thought was notable.
I could ping the printers so it wasn t that smnp was being blocked.
Microsoft released kb3147458 update exclusively for windows 10 users only.
After the polling loop is registered windows queries the print server periodically to check whether it is back online.
I had an issue where printer queues on windows server 2012 were showing as offline.
2 on your keyboard press the p key to faster locate print spooler item.
Type services msc in the search box and press enter.
See if its status is running.
This update helps improve the notification of printers when a device wakes up from sleep mode.
Select start settings devices printers scanners.
